The Swedish ambassador in Moscow will be summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry after the drone incident at the Russian trade representation in Stockholm, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zacharova to the Russian state news agency Ria Novosti.

Ria Novosti reported on Saturday that a drone had dropped paint on the trade representation's property.

”The embassy demands that the local authorities conduct a full investigation of this and previous incidents”, Ria Novosti wrote then.

Russia's embassy on Kungsholmen in central Stockholm was subjected to a paint attack in the middle of June, when a drone dropped a bag of paint outside the property. The embassy has previously been subjected to similar attacks.
